Exploring Idalion WHS
As part of the 2nd WatHer Project meeting held in Cyprus from 27-29 April 2026, project partners continued the field visits to the Cypriot Pilot Sites following the second day’s sessions.
On 28 April 2026, partners visited Laona Foundation Study Site in Dali, where they explored the wider areas of Idalion and Agios Sozomenos, learning more about the region’s rich cultural and water heritage landscape.
The visit was guided by cultural architect Sevina Floridou, who introduced participants to the historical significance, cultural identity and environmental characteristics of the area, highlighting the connection between heritage, landscape and water management through time.
The field visit offered partners a valuable opportunity to experience the site firsthand and further connect the project’s research and collaborative discussions with the realities of local heritage landscapes in Cyprus.
